THE TWO SEAS.

''When thou passest through the waters viii
be with thee
Each night we are launched on sea OF sleep;
No doubts disturb Us, no fears annoy.
Though we plow the waves OF the darkened
deep,
We know we are safe IN the Masters keep,
And the morning brings Us JOY.
What dread, then, should daunt US, what doubt
distress,
When on Deaths dark sea we are launched
alone:
In that deeper sleep, should we trust Him less
Shall we limit to earth His power to bless:
VIII the Father forsaSe His own!
He made US His children: he bears US TO bed;
And whether our sleep be the first or last,
What matters il where our souls are led.
II our trust in the God of the living and dead
Shall only hold US fast:

OFFICE SPAT.

The office of one of the promiEert attor-
news of the city yesterday witnessed quite
lively scene. A. client called to pay his Dill,
resulting from several cases he had been IN
terested in, employing the gentleman OF the
office as his legal adviser. In figuring on the
matter there seemed to be G. difference OF
opinion and belief Several angry words
resulted, and the two faced each other In
pugilistic positions Man No. 3 who wit
messed the situation, slipped into the hall Tor
personal safety, evidently thinking "let EN-
flghtn Well, it seems they did fight, and
rather lively. The racket soon attracted the
attention of some neighbors, who rushed into
the office, when the client, VINO
by the way, is real estate man,
was in a decidedly embarrassing position
He ornamented one corner of the room firm
ly throttled by the legal man who seemed to
be making fair Roadway in stealing the wind
of lis opponent and the heels of the unfortu-
nate real estater were doing little execution
in trying to bob up in such a way as to
furnish entertainment for his opponent.
The friends of both soon broke the combi-
nation and peace restored. The real estater
used some court plaster to patching up some
raw places while the attorney also had some
nets bich he soon learned to treat with the
most profound respect.
The business matter is not yet settled. VI
course ample arrangements were made for
keeping mum" so it would not be found out

ALNOSr-A TRAGEDY.

Mr.. Lodge of the Main Street theater tells
with considerable relish bow he was few
evenings past deceived by appearances aud
how his attempted prevention OF a tragedy
was unnecessary. a man addicted to the
opium haiti was sitting in a restaurant
where he went after his performa &c for
lunch. just as he passed the half intoxicat-
ed man some ore near by knocked a well
worn stiff hat from his head. The latter
jumped from the seat angrlly p'csed
up his hat and, mutteripg to himself, hastily
run his hand into his hip pocket. MIR. Lodge
felt sure he would draw out revolver aud
already saw blood split on the floor. He
hastily grabbed the fellows hand while 1t
was still in his pocket. The latter, as soon
as Mr.. Lodge had somewhat released his
hold. drew forth-an old tx handkerchief
and commenced with apparent unconcern to
brush off his tile.

THE CITY COUNCIL.
Asking On stions About the Sewer system
acknowledgements.

CITY council met yesterday afternoon at =
O'Clock. with all present excepting Mr.. Stone.
Mr.. Rosewater, of Rosewater q Christie,
submitted plans of sewerage according to
contract. Near three hours were spent In
looking over the plans and discussing the
same. Mr. Rosewater answering questioi S
ORIGINATING with the councilmen and city
engineer.
The only objection filed, and it was not
considered fault of the engineers, is the
fact that the leading main for some distance
will probably haveto belaid in quicksand. The
levels taken in the city called for the leading
main to be placed where it is and in many
cities already severed the pipes are in quick
sand. 1t being by no mears impossible to
lay pipes in quiksand the objection was
not considered good one especially as 1t
gave much better drainage.
After long discussion Mr.. English moved
to acce pit the r, port and place it on file.
Mr.. Buckridge proved second.
Mr. Johnson-Is it really necessary that
we receive these plans now2
MIR. Derby-I don't know what else we
can do.
Mr.. English-By accepting we pay Rose
water g. Christie but don't bind ourselves to
construct a sewer according to the plans
given. Mr. Rosewater, have you given us
ali you agreed to!
MIR. Rosewater-Yes, sir, and more. Some
private parties wanted additional territory
ken in, and we extended works nearly
quarter of mile north of Carey avenue
The motion carried, with johnson voting
ir the negative.
The council passed some resolutions asking
the government officials to add one more
story to the government building to be
erected in the city. AS the city has doubled
in population since the last appropriation
and hence the demands on building Of that
sort have doubled, it was proper to ask that
one more story be added.
The board of trade will also consider the
same question.
